Got the King distinction with Cod and Magpies as accomplices. Cod is great because after grabbing her boon, one card is removed from the deck, increasing the odds of drawing <a href="/wiki/Seven_of_Ambivalences:_Goad" title="Seven of Ambivalences: Goad">Seven of Ambivalences: Goad</a>. I guess it's really dependent on one's Shapeling Arts, with runs potentially as short as 8 turns. 14 is needed to pass the skill check 100%. I understand that with like, two freely available Shapeling Arts gear, this build won't be viable for most players.
